    You could also try intermodel as well. A lot of the Mega's, like JB Hunt, train you to work off the rail yards or piers. You need a hazmat and twic and you'll be homevery night. But they usually average about $45-50k a year, where as if you did foodservice or LTL, you can make $100k plus, with LTL being the less of physical of the two, especially their linehaul division.

    Since you don't have any experience it may be difficult to find anything but entry level jobs...

    Are you driving for Swift now? They have a terminal in Ocala right? How often do you get home?

    Yes Ocala is my terminal. After 4 weeks out my driver leader let me go home from Tuesday till Monday morning which is great ,but still it's not what I want to do for rest of my life.
